Not only wheeling. Took 1/2 second off my et in the 1/4 when I had a spare car and didn’t have to worry about breaking parts!

And most people who crash don’t know the limit and exceed it.

@Crab I’ve been wheeling fairly hard for a long time, when I was younger I blew lots of stuff up. Now being more seasoned and training new wheelers and those without experience, they really don’t know where the limit is or how to get the most out of their rig without wrecking it. I get the price thing. I don’t wheel my gladiator hard at all even though it’s more capable than my wj I wheel simply because I’m not afraid to completely kill it. I can push harder without the price consequences

@Crab I don't think it's that simple - enthusiasts tend to upgrade their rigs ahead of upgrading their driving abilities(since building a rig is as much fun as driving it for a lot of us), not everyone even has trails around that can really push modified rigs. How many people upgrade Jeeps as soon as they buy them, before they even touch dirt? A whole lot of them never catch up to their mods that they make over the vehicle's lifetime. Most off-roaders aren't hardcore off-roaders like this, regardless of budget. For some it isn't by choice(budget, location, etc.); for others, it definitely is by choice(some people just aren't into hitting the gnarliest obstacles and breaking & fixing their stuff; which is the primary market for these $60k+ factory off-roaders that can do the hardcore, they're really overbuilt for these sorts of customers). Especially today, wheeling used to be a pretty budget oriented hobby, but there's all levels of budget & interest these days.

@Crab you hit the nail on the head. Shoot, my 4Runner is probably worth about 20K, and I was on the trail last week being cautious with it because I didn't want to trash it. Not only is it my daily that I needed to drive 300 mi home, 20K also is a fairly substantial amount of money to me.

It’s built for high speed off roading. The suspension is probably the best you will find on a factory vehicle. The shocks and suspension alone retail for more than most used Jeeps. It’s the same suspension as the new Gen 3 Raptor. I think people should stop trying to make something it’s not built for. If you want an awesome rock crawler then just buy a cheap rock crawling buggy and haul it with a Raptor or Braptor. Then no matter where you go you have the best of both worlds. Jeep will never be either of those. You have to modify the crap out of them to keep up with a dedicated rock crawling buggy and they will never be great at high speed desert running.

Braptor is the best most capable 4x4 suv you can buy on the planet that solid front axle bull crap is beat to death the ifs in the Braptor does the same thing and doesn’t sacrifice ride quality. It’s in a league of it’s own right now. The only reason jeep is still getting attention because of how long it’s been around for. No STOCK jeep would come close to this Bronco.

@@ThunderJarvis bless your heart

Thunder no the shocks and suspension do not retail for what most used jeeps go for. The suspension is not 20-30k fkn dollars.

@@fxrsniper1 if you bought a stock Bronco and upgraded to the same components that are in this Bronco Raptor it would easily cost you over 20k. The Fox Live Valve 3.1 shocks alone are almost 10k with install.

We’re crazy, but it’s a very calculated crazy. 😅❤️

@@LiteBrite Life is just a continuous series of calculated risks. Crazy is what "normies" call creative thinkers, but very few people can make the crazy work for them and those around them. Luckily you're excellent at driving the crazy train, with us as passengers on your adventures.

I'd bet there were some Ford development engineers cringing when you started up the "Wall of Doom." Even the obstacles earlier were probably enough to make them uncomfortable. What you're doing is pushing the limits of their testing, short of bang it 'til it flips. Then they can dial it back half a turn and sell it! Excellent report from our favorite "Field Test Engineers!!"👍👍

Well to be fair this vehicle wasn’t built for extreme rock crawling. It’s a high speed desert runner that can do some rock crawling too. It’s way more capable than a stock Jeep in the desert and it can keep up to and stock Jeep in the mountains. My Rubicon couldn’t do what that Braptor did in this video. That was impressive for any stock vehicle.

@@ThunderJarvis Ford Raptors aren't stock they are a performance version of the same vehicle.

@@ThunderJarvis Your Rubicon from the factory has 4:10 gears this has 4:70

@@fxrsniper1 yes and my Jeep has 33” tires with a lot less clearance than this Braptor. Did you notice Kevin didn’t take the Demon Child up this wall. The Live Valve suspension on the Braptor helps with climbing too by sensing where the weight is being applied to which wheel and softening or stiffening the shocks based on weight distribution in the moment. Then you have the transmission computer systems that are sensing where power needs to be applied in each instant for maximum traction. My Jeep has lockers and a low crawl gear ratio. No comparison.

I watch Lite Brite on youtube every night in bed while falling asleep (Kev and Britt actually get paid for me to sleep), but I always wake up with Brad from Trail Recon somehow...

Agreed, some of the best wheeling on the east coast... just set that GPS for Troy NC.

We started with an fj80 land cruiser. Go back a few years in videos. We had a land cruiser before the jeep

Been watching since thy had less than 5k subscribers. Keep watching, these two will blow ya away.

❤️😁🤙

i like the bronco as an owner of a halfway built jku but goddamn that is one of the ugliest vehicles i have seen solely cus of the braptor fenders. 115k to have something that looks like it was made with playdough, they shoulda just copied jeep aftermarket fenders and made them small and thin!
